Being a Chef isn't just pursuing cuisines that is eurocentric. A Singapore chef should also be knowledgeable of the local cuisine here. When abroad, he wouldn't feel apprehensive to share with other Chefs about the culture and food of where he is from.

In conjunction with the launch of The Miele Guide 2009/2010, two culinary scholarships—jointly sponsored by Miele and At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy—will be awarded to two deserving young talents from Asia through The Miele Guide Culinary Scholarship Programme. One will be awarded to a citizen or permanent resident of one of the Asian countries evaluated in the guide (with the exception of Singapore) and the other will be awarded to a citizen or permanent resident of Singapore. These culinary scholarships will help two young people from Asia reach their dreams of becoming world-class chefs. The Miele Guide Culinary Scholarship Programme was established last year to promote formal culinary education and encourage the continual growth and development of the F&B industry in Asia.

Organised and administered by Ate Media, The Miele Guide Culinary Scholarship Programme is jointly sponsored by Miele, At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy (At-Sunrice) and supported by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) this year. Applications for the two scholarships open on 1 July 2009 and will close on 31 August 2009. The results will be revealed at the official launch of The Miele Guide 2009/2010 on 30 September 2009. Scholarship recipients will attend the WSQ Diploma course in Culinary Arts (WSQ DCA) at At-Sunrice.

Application forms can be downloaded here. All applications must be submitted by 31 August 2009.
